The historic It is Sacred walkon June 17 lifted the hearts and spirits of Indigenous and non-Indigenous supporters of all ages and nations. We walked behind Algonquin Elders who spoke strongly for an end to the broken promises related to the sacred islands and waterfall. Visit this Facebook pagefor photographs galore.

The elders are still busy. In celebration of National Aboriginal Day, Anishinaabe Elder Douglas Cardinal attended an outdoor sunrise ceremony hosted by the Hon. Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Northern Affairs on the grounds of the Museum of History that Mr. Cardinal designed. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also had an opportunity to meet and speak with Mr. Cardinal at the early morning event.
